of the dalrymen are full of information
and very interesting. The committee
on OleOmargarine submitted series of
resolutions, which were adopted. They
firmly protest against any action by
congress that tends to impair the eff
cacy of the present laws against fraud
ulent limitations of their products; they
lament the alarming increase of such
limitations going on all the time in the
country, and resolved to send copy of
these resolutions to the states repre-
SentatlyeS in congress, urging them to
give their hearty support and cO-Opera-
ton in securing such national legisla-
ton as will be sufficient to prohibit the
manufacture and sale: or. falling in
this attempt. to amend the law so that
the manufactured article may be col
ored pink.
Prof. w. Fl. Henry. of the University
of Wisconsin, delivered an entertaining
address on economical feeding of dairy
stock. He divided foods into two great
classes, carbonaceous and heterogeneous,
and showed that experiments in Ger
many of thirty years, pointed out that
the best proportion of food for COW
was 215 pounds of prOtean to II to IA
pounds of carbon hydrate. The best
food for a cow, he was convinced after
experiments of number of years, was
20 pounds of bran and to pounds of
corn meal or Oat meal. Prof. Henry
deprecated the waste that is common in
feeding foods that are not needed in the
quantities that are given.

The committee on resolutions pre-

was practically sat down upon by
being ordered to be placed upon the ia
bic. 1t was resolved to return thanks
on the part Of the convention to the
city through his honor, Mayor AmeS for
all courtesies extended to them while in
the city. They also earnestly and re-
spectfully urged ''Our representatives
in congress to favor and press forward
by all honorable means such action as
shall render the funds provided by the
Hatch bill available for the expert
mental station at the earliest possible
date" That the American Jersey Cat
tie club, which has been so long in ex-
istence, that it is looked upon as a ma
tiOnal Institution having raised the
price of registration for imported ami
mails from So to 500, for bulls, and $50
for cows, reducing the Importation from
1897 head in 1888 to 70 head in 1885
and to 25 1886. Be it resolved that the
Minnesota State Dairyman'S association
consider this action most unjust and ar
bitrary and an imposition on the dairy
interests of the country. That this as
ISOLATION indOrse the work of the state
farmers institute in advancing agricult-
ural and dairy work.
A good deal of amusement was caused
at joke Gen. Baker, of Mankato, got
on himself by rising to make reSOlu-
ton to the effect that the work of the
state dairy commissioners be examined
into and reported upon, being altogether
unmindful of the fact that he was put
Wednesday afternoon on committee
for this identical purpose.
MISCELLANEOUS TALK.
Short addresses were given by various
members. For change from cows and
milk, DIR. Curryer, Lake Crystal, Mimi,
spoke on 1.-THE Horse-HOw to Breed
and Break Him." He recommended
gentleness in dealing with horse first
of all and last of all, remarking there
was only one class of animals that he
would whip, and that was an inveterate
halter puller. This style of horse, he
must admit, he would whip everlasting
ly. The mysteries of ''SilOs and Ensil-
age" were learnedly discussed by Prof.
Henry. Prof. Porter, A. p. McKinstry
and f. ID. Holmes, and when this part
of the programme came to an end, the
convention of Minnesota state dairymen
came to close for 1887.
c. II. Chadburn, of Princeton. who
won the first prize for butter, had this
to say: The butter was made from the
milk of grade short horn cows, fed on
ground oats and corn together, with
reasonable ration. Mr.. Chadburn makes
300 pounds of butter each year from
each of his grade short horn cows.
These are what he styles his general
purpose cows that he has been so sue
cessful with in his dairy industry.
